When "Duck Dynasty" returned for its third season last week, it was greeted by an audience of 8.6 million viewers. Pretty good for an A&E reality series about bearded bayou brethren who manufacture duck calls and love to go bird hunting.
Except that's not what "Duck Dynasty" really is. Viewers who have ducked this show thus far, assuming it's just another mocking redneck display on the order of "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo," have it all wrong. And they're missing out.
Nor, by the way, is this a show that has much to do with the duck-call business (life has many distractions for the Robertson clan), nor is it a show that dwells on people killing animals (are you listening, Morrissey?).
Instead, "Duck Dynasty" (airing two half-hours at 10 p.m. EST Wednesday) is a warm and witty family show that is more akin to a classic sitcom than it is to the likes of "Buckwild."

“Viewers who have ducked this show thus far, assuming it’s just another mocking redneck display on the order of “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo,” have it all wrong”
that’s what I assumed when I first heard about it. same old dysfunctional family and manufactured drama.
only been watching a few weeks. it’s a fun show, but it is very different to see a group of people on TV getting along with each other.
DD is my all time favorite show! I bought their book “The Duck Commander Family” ... or something close to that title. It tells all about the family and the early struggles and doesn’t sugar coat anything. The word bleep was a setup by A&E ... the Robertson’s don’t cuss per Jase (I believe). This is the best show on TV and ‘that’s a fact Jack’!
The only bleep I have heard is when Willie was raging about them floading the loading dock.
“I been working all day on a stupid DVD and I come here and see this sh(bleep). Look it, them dumpsters in the water. Now how we gonna move the garbage? Everybody here is doing nothing. And I can’t fire you cawz you’re kin to me.”
